18 Asma

Asma. 42 years old. Sudanese. | While her two daughters and husband left the village to visit relatives, Asma had to flee a Janjaweed militia attack in the middle of the night. Terrorized and wounded, she remained hidden for several days in the bush. Too traumatized to return, she followed compatriots to Egypt and then Libya. In Tripoli, she worked for a while in a restaurant to pay for the care she needed since the attack on her village. Unable to return to her country and contact her family, Asma set out for Europe with other migrants. She sleeps on a cardboard box in the streets of Paris. What worries her the most is that she has no news of her husband and daughters. | Avenue de Flandre, Paris, France. 2017
